Power BI turns everyday data into clear, interactive reports. In this Essentials course delegates will learn how to bring data together, tidy it up and build a dashboard that updates, so reporting stops being a monthly copy-and-paste job. Turn your spreadsheets into live dashboards managers actually use.
Managers, analysts and reporting staff in SMEs, local authorities, NHS teams, housing associations and charities reporting to funders or boards.
